silver cap and rammed it back into place.
    Just as my cell door swung open, I righted the chair, scooped up ‘The Wind in the Willows’ and pretended I’d been reading all along.
    Phillips came striding into my cell, and I continued to read my book as if I hadn’t noticed him. Slowly, he circled me, and although I was pretending he wasn’t there, I knew he was looking at me.
    “Who gave you the chair and the book?’” he barked.
    “A wolf,” I said without looking up.
    Without warning, he snatched the book out of my hands and tossed it across the room.
    “Which wolf?” he roared so loudly, I nearly fell off my chair.
    Guessing that Nik shouldn’t have given me these items and not wanting to get him into trouble, I replied, “They didn’t tell me their name.”
    “What did they look like?”
    I met his gaze and said dryly, “Mmm…let me think about that…I guess they looked like a wolf! ”
    “Don’t get smart with me, Hudson, or it will be the last thing that you ever do!” he grunted as he moved closer towards me.
    “Well how am I supposed to know? As far as I’m concerned, wolves all look alike,” I tried to explain.
    “Well you’re not keeping them,” Phillips growled.
    No! He can’t take them away! What about my escape? I need them!
    “Please don’t take them,” I said. “I hate sitting on the floor all the time – it’s so uncomfortable.”
    “Tough luck,” Phillips snapped and pushed me off the chair with one shove of his claw-like hands.
    I hit the floor hard and although my leg flared with pain, I noticed it was nowhere near as bad as it had been. But nevertheless, I gripped hold of it and screamed.
    “Can’t you see I’m in pain?” I cried.
    Phillips just stood over me and puckered his large fleshy lips.
    “If I had somewhere comfortable to sit my leg might heal quicker,” I groaned.
    Hearing this, he stared into my eyes and I saw a flash of something in them. It was as if I had said something that touched a nerve within him.
    “The floor is hard and cold. How is my leg ever gonna heal if I’m lying on the ground all the time?” I told him.
    I could sense that Phillips was thinking about this for a minute and then he said reluctantly, “Okay, you can keep it for the next few days, in the hope that it may aid your recovery. But if it doesn’t, I’m taking the chair back. Besides, if your leg hasn’t healed by then, you won’t be needing it again.”
    On hearing this, I rolled over onto my side and rubbed my leg, “Thank you,” I said. “I’m sure it will help.”
    Phillips just snorted in response and went back to the open door.
    As he reached it, I called out to him and said, “What did you really come to my cell for?”
    On hearing this, he stopped in the doorway and grinned at me.
    “I came to tell you that you stink and it’s time for a wash!” He then disappeared into the corridor and as he went, I heard him say to someone or something , “She’s all yours!”
    I looked at the open doorway as two Vampyrus appeared. It was only when I was hit in the chest with a powerful jet of water that I noticed the hosepipes in their hands.
    The Vampyrus laughed between themselves as they hosed me down. The force of the water was so strong that it pushed me across the cell floor and into the wall. The water was freezing cold and tasted salty, like sea water.
    Once they had their fun and games, they turned off the water and left me alone, wet and cold on my cell floor. I rubbed my hands up and down the length of my arms to dry myself. My hospital gown was soaked through and clung uncomfortably to me. Moving to the centre of the cell where the sun shone through the hole, I lay on my back and warmed myself in the pool of light. I looked up at the hole and smiled to myself.
    So far so good! I’ll be out of here by the end of the week!
    I knew that I would have to spend the next few nights chipping away, so I would have to sleep during the day to keep up my strength and
